men supposed to represent Irishmen and
tenants never speak word Of counsel 10
their countrymen In behalf Of industry, hon
esty or temperance, which would lessen
Irish evils, though not increase Irlsh-Ameri-
can donations. The land act Of 1881 gave
the most complete security 10 the results Of
industry on the part Of tenants, but their
leaders condemned legislation so much In
their favor and never advised them 10 make
an honest use OF their new position. Indus
try will have no chance while the people are
misled by a conspiracy whose main objects
are TO plunder landlords and excite bitter
hatred Of England"
Mr.. Gladstone, In another article In the
February number Of the Nineteenth Cen
tury, contends that though Ireland formerly
gained concessions from England through
fear, an attempt by Ireland to repeat her
former tactics would be like warning against

rule to Ireland would be to hand the govern

leave Cairo on Thursday. Mr.. Stanley says
the telegram representing that Emin Bey had
been heard from, and that he was on his
way TO the Eastern Coast Of Africa, having
cut his way through the Uganda territory,
was nonsense.
The Berlin correspondent Of the Daily
News says he hears that the whole German

the speech from the throne, Lord Randolph
Churchill, speaking Of the Glenbeigh evic-
tiOns, said he thought there never was case
found under microscopic examination which
was more favorable to Irish landlords on the

landlords had done their duty is-a generous
way. He praised Sir michael Hicks Beach
for the greatness of the sacrifices associated
with the latter's acceptance OF the chief sec
retaryship for Ireland and wished him sue
cess in the work he had undertaken. He
said he had seen much that he considered
alarming in the plan of campaign. III juries

grant additional powers under which those
pursuing the plan OF campaign would v0lun-

toward maintaining parliamentary alliances,

only TO watch the negotiations Of the Radi-
Gals. So greatly was Chamberlain enamored
of these negotiations that he was always go

would never follow Chamberlain on the line
